DEATH OF CARROLL BOOTE. - Young Sugar Chemist Passes Away at Burnside Home. 
- Carroll Russell Boote, eldest son of Samuel J. Boote and the late Estelle 
Johnson, died at his father's home on Conway plantation, near Burnside, at 5 
o'clock Monday morning, July 2. he was 34 years old, having been born on the 
Donaldson plantation in 1883. His scholastic education was received from the 
State University at Baton Rouge, and although he did not graduate, he left 
the institution well qualified as a sugar chemist. In that capacity he 
filled a position in Mexico, and upon returning to Louisiana he served as 
assistant chemist at the New Hope, Houmas Central or Armant factory of the 
Miles Company every grinding season for the past twelve years. During recent 
years he had also assumed the management of Conway plantation, relieving his 
father of the duties attached to that post.

He was of a quiet, retiring temperament, inclined toward diffidence in 
unusual degree, but withal unfailingly courteous and distinctly a desirable 
and genial companion when his friendship was gained. A great reader of 
current literature, he kept up with all the magazines and latest books, and 
was thoroughly posted on the contents of the newspapers.

His body was brought to Donaldsonville via the steamer Virgie Tuesday 
forenoon, and after services at the Episcopal church was interred in the 
Protestant cemetery. Rev. Q. Ewing, of Napoleonville, conducted the 
obsequies, and the pall-bearers were Messrs. J. F. Saxon, D. L. Borneman, H. 
Clay Braud, joe Belle, Jr., Willie Oubre and Claybert Belle.

To those bereaved by the untimely passing away of this high-principled, 
clean-minded young man, the Chief, in common with a wide circle of friends 
and acquaintances, begs leave to tender assurances of sorrow and sympathy.
